Meet-and-eat Feeler: We aren't just usernames.

[CathyInBlue]

I'd likely go, but would have to sit on the other side of the room. You know, to perpetuate the "us vs. them." I can't be seen with them, whoever them is.

Well, you know what they say, but who are they to say it?

 

[JollyMon]

I would be interested but definitely depends on date/time/location.

 

[eldirector]

I have some time off over the holidays. Post up a date/time/location. If it works for me, I'll be there.

 

[PaulF]

Location is no issue, so as long as the scheduling works out I will attend...

...assuming this doesn't end up like so many of GP's threads, I don't want to have to lock the restaurant half way through supper.

You're mod powers are feckless in three dimensions.

After I get more ideas from this thread, I'll start nailing down some timeframe and locations. I liked some so far... Dales is good, Shallo's also great... but both pretty south. We'll see what others have to say.


Also, I'm halfway through writing my "Guns cause violence" essay, which aims to take all responsibility off of the people.

Aw man what was his/her* name?



*I legitimately don't remember what he/she identified as...not being a jerk for once

Miah Atkisson as I recall.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

"Old School Tag", which is used on the AR15 forums... That, or VUPD is a big fan of the Original Star Trek. Who isn't?

Anyway... I agree, definitely after the holidays. The venue may also depend on how many "Yes" there are.

Question - If I made a stack of cards or stickers with usernames and avatars on them, would you use them? :P

My advice after organizing several of these--

After getting a general consensus, go ahead and just set the date/time/location. You won't ever accommodate everyone, and trying is futile.

A stack of 3"x4" blank stickers and a sharpie are great for making nametags for usernames and real names. Simple is best here, as the guest list will change several times, and often at the last minute.

Call the restaurant well in advance and ask them how best to handle a group of your proposed size. They may have a special room (often at no charge) or some special rules to keep in mind.

Be the first to show up and make sure everything is ready.

Depending on date and time, etc... I'd love to be there.

 

[SSGSAD]

I am in, date and time, and location, please...

Yup. Thanks for the advice.

I'll narrow down a time later this evening after re-reading through the suggestions here.

Wife does event planning for a large company, so I'll have her help out on the organization part :P

I can attest to this. Last meet-n-eat Rhino went to was at the Terre Haute Cheeseburger in Paradise, and it was so tragic, they had to shut that place down. It's now shuttered. No kidding.

Hush, you!


Here are places that I have verified are gun-friendly (i.e. no problems with open carry, even by a bunch of us):

Union Jack in Speedway - bada** pizza, everything else is pretty good too; we've had several gatherings there

Grindstone Charley's in Speedway - also several gatherings there

 

[chezuki]

Regardless of when and where this meet happens, this thread has reminded me that I need a Shallo's tenderloin soon!

 

[dusty88]

I will try to make it if the timing works out.

I recommend picking a location near 465. You can't be close to everyone, but that makes travel time and parking better for those who do come from a distance. The exception maybe being don't pick the Castleton area as everyone can add about 30 min to their travel time.

My vote/convenience would be west or northwest side, but I'll try to make it wherever it happens.

I like Rhino's suggestion of Union Jacks; they do have great pizza.

Rick's Cafe (also on the west side) is excellent food with everything ranging from sandwiches to steak and seafood (expensive if you get dinner, but reasonable for sandwiches, beer, etc). I don't know about their gun-friendly status as I've carried concealed when there.
